In the Spirit Cave, Lin Chen was sitting cross-legged and meditating.
suddenly!
A majestic old voice came: "Boy! It's been very popular in this valley recently!"
Hear the sound!
Lin Chen hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Elder Xuankong."
"It's quite neat. It seems that you have been waiting for a long time, right?" Xuan Kong glanced at it.
"Yes, my disciple happens to be refining some Nine Tribulations Golden Pills in the secret realm, and I need the help of Lao Xuan to bid for them."
"Let me take a look first to see how much progress you have made in your alchemy skills?"
"Please taste it, Mr. Xuan." Lin Chen respectfully handed over the prepared elixir.
Xuan Kong took a look and was a little surprised: "There are three?"
"Yes."
"It's strange. The Nine Tribulations Golden Elixir medicinal materials are very rare. Even the stock in this valley is very small. Moreover, your medicinal materials are not from this valley. Where did you get so many medicinal materials?" Xuankong was very confused.
"The refining of each medicinal pill does not use the same medicinal materials. Mr. Xuan must have more insights than his disciples." Lin Chen replied neither humble nor arrogant.
"Good boy, it seems that you have really improved a lot." Xuan Kong smiled and praised, and then began to taste the medicinal pills.
But as soon as he unsealed the medicinal pill, Xuankong knew what was extraordinary about it, and began to taste it carefully. But he nodded repeatedly, and Xuankong was full of surprise and full of praise for the wonderful thing.
"Wonderful! You kid is becoming more and more sophisticated in refining the Nine Tribulations Golden Pill, and the medicine pills you refine are becoming more and more refined every time." Xuankong regretted and said: "I am really at a loss, early on.
I know you have a back-up plan, so I should have taken away the pills behind you."
“If the price is right, I can give it to Mr.
.
But Xuankong joked: "My hands are shabby, otherwise I really want to accept your medicine pill. Of course, if you are willing to give it to me for free, I can still accept it."
"Don't you think this is such a trick? You really worked hard to refine these elixirs and went through all kinds of difficulties. Are you embarrassed to accept them?" Lin Chen complained directly.
"As long as you are willing to give it away, I am naturally willing to accept it." Xuankong replied with a smile.
"At most, I will give you one level of benefit." Lin Chen felt speechless.
"That's not bad. The Nine Tribulations Golden Elixir you brought this time is of good quality and will definitely get a higher value. If I operate it again, I guarantee that I won't lose money to you." Xuankong said with a smile.
"Then thank you first, Mr. Xuan." Lin Chen cupped his hands and said.
"Okay, let's put aside the bidding for the medicine pill for now. I have something to ask you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully." Xuankong became serious.
"Excuse me, Mr. Xuan." Lin Chen was mentally prepared.
"Hong Fei and Yu Feng suffered in the secret realm. I'm afraid it was at your hands?"
"I will not offend others unless they offend me. This has always been my disciple's principle. Their suffering is indeed at my hands, but I am not at fault. I hope Mr. Xuan will understand clearly."
"You have caused big trouble for yourself. Several elders have already complained to the Valley Master to convict you. If you are questioned then, how will you defend yourself?"
"Disciple has always been upright. If it were not a threat to his own life, he would never make such a move if he had no choice. Even if the Valley Master pressed him, he would argue with reason." Lin Chen's attitude was firm.
"Your appearance has indeed broken the rules of this valley. I can also understand that it is not all your fault, but it can be completely avoided with your ability. Why are you asking for trouble?" Xuankong shook his head and sighed softly.
"Can't Yaowang Valley be reasonable?" Lin Chen said.
"Yao Wang Valley is naturally reasonable, but you don't belong to Yao Wang Valley. You are here just to practice. Why do you want to kill and get into trouble?"
"It's not that I want to cause trouble, but there are people who want to have a problem with me. I tried to tolerate it in every possible way, but they went even further, intending to take away my skills and kill me."
"Then, can you give up on competing with my disciple, Longtian?"
Will you give me this thin portion of noodles?"
"You always want your disciple to stop?" Lin Chen asked immediately.
"It turned out to be a fight in public, so there is no reason to give up. I just hope that you can hold your hand high during the discussion." Xuankong sighed: "Because three days later, an envoy from the temple happened to visit Ben Gu. It is related to Xiaotian's future. Ben Gu
I hope you can put the overall situation first, which must be what the Valley Master wants."
"So you are asking your disciple to betray you? Are you always so unsure of your disciple's strength?" Lin Chen felt a little unhappy. Asking him to deliberately betray his enemy to help an enemy is not in line with Lin Chen's style.
"With Xiaotian's ability, I naturally know what I know. In front of the envoy from the temple, I can't act too much. I just hope you can be a little more restrained." Xuankong said in a good voice: "I know.
You feel aggrieved, and Xiaotian has done so before, but Yaowang Valley is not your real destination. You will have a better future. Presumably, after you leave Yaowang Valley, you will never return.
Fame and fortune are only harmful to you, so it would be better to help Xiaotian and Yaowang Valley."
"Disciple knows that Mr. Xuan has good intentions. It is indeed not easy to cultivate an outstanding disciple like Senior Brother Long Tian. But ask yourself, do you really think that Senior Brother Long Tian is a qualified successor?" Lin Chen also became serious.
.
"As the future heir of this valley, if you don't have enough ambition and means, you won't be able to protect Yaowang Valley. Even when I was young, I made a lot of mistakes." Xuankong sighed softly: "Xiaotian does have some skills now.
All kinds of mistakes are the only way for him to become a future heir. I believe that as he grows up, he will definitely settle down his character, become mature and stable, and become a true heir."
"As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. With the current status of Senior Brother Longtian, he should have a bold and benevolent heart, but he is jealous of talented people, and even for his own selfish interests, he will not break his hands and harm his fellow disciples. You
Do you really think that Senior Brother Longtian can lead the entire Yaowang Valley in the future?" Lin Chen said with a helpless face: "If this disciple had not escaped by luck, he would have died long ago. Why did Mr. Xuan ever consider the disciple's feelings?
?Growth does not lie in indulgence, but in setbacks, so that you can hone your character."
Lin Chen spoke the truth, which made Xuankong wake up. He shook his head and sighed: "Yes, you are right. It is really because you have indulged Xiaotian too much in recent years that he has allowed him to do random things. And with Xiaotian's talent,
Since I was a child, I have stood at a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. I have had smooth sailing and have not experienced too many setbacks. To say the least, I feel ashamed."
"As a teacher, I can understand human nature." Lin Chen said sternly: "It's just that if Mr. Xuan blindly supports Senior Brother Longtian, it will be harmful to him. If Mr. Xuan really cares about Senior Brother Longtian,
To train him as a future heir, we should hone his character rather than rush for success. Of course, this is also the teaching given to me by my master, as well as my personal experience and insights."
"It's a pity that your ambition is not in Yaowang Valley, otherwise you would be the most suitable successor of this valley." Xuankong said regretfully.
"There are numerous geniuses and capable people in Yaowang Valley, so naturally there will be more and more suitable successors." Lin Chen sighed: "Disciple can understand your painstaking efforts and difficulties, but I also hope that Mr. Xuan will not be too persistent.
The disciple believes that as Yaowang Gu, who is famous in the world, and as the future successor of Yaowang Valley, he should be upright, possess both ability and political integrity, and be able to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. If he rises to power through means, I am afraid that it will be Yaowang who will be harmed in the future.
The valley has been famous for thousands of years."
"I have been taught. I didn't expect that I have been practicing for thousands of years, but I have far less insights than a younger generation like you. I am really ashamed. It's also my fault that I didn't lead Xiaotian to a correct value system in time." Xuankong felt deeply.
Confess your guilt and regret your mistakes.
"It's not too late to make up for it. The disciples can only do their best, but they are not sure enough to defeat Senior Brother Long Tian." Lin Chen felt relieved, but in fact he was really afraid that Xuan Kong would be determined to protect Long Tian.
This would be very difficult for Lin Chen to do.
"Although you let go, I hope you can stop it in moderation. From now on, I will guide Xiaotian well and make him a truly qualified successor of Yaowang Valley in the future." Xuankong said in a deep tone, which can be described as good intentions.
"Disciples will know how to measure." Lin Chen nodded slightly.
"One more thing I have to remind you, if after three days of competition, your talents are recognized by the envoys from the temple, this will be a great opportunity for you, so don't refuse it." Xuan Kong said solemnly.
"There are countless wizards in the temple. With the achievements of the disciples, naturally they will not be able to enter the temple." Lin Chen smiled sarcastically, but Lin Chen's purpose was just to stop the idea of further training in the Longtian Temple, so he suppressed the restrictions.
Long Tian’s growth and future.
Xuan Kong had to save face, but he also had to take a breath for himself.
It was precisely because Xuan Kong treated him well, otherwise Long Tian would be a dead man based on what he did to Lin Chen.
